I've noticed that since my BC back in March that every time I get a trim the texture of my hair seems to change. At first, I had a lot of frizzy ends and just straight hair that had no curl. But the sides back and part of the front is more defined in the curl. The top still is pretty much straight and doesn't want to do anything. Would this be considered scab hair or just that my hair is still transitioning? Is this just me or does your hair continue to transition after you stop relaxing and do the BC chop.
Also, since my hair is about 3 inches long, I've wearing a two strand twist at home but never in public what length did most you wear your two strand twist in public. I'm slowly getting to the point were I actually go outside with my hair twisted to do work around the house. I think part of it is that I'm still getting use to my hair and doing different things to it.

As for the twist question, I can't answer that because my twists always look SO horrible that I never wear them in public.
You will get used to your rediscovered locks I'm sure It does take time. When I first BCed, I didnt know what to do once I started having length. I also was dishearted to discover that me and hats could no longer have such a marvelous relationship. (But that's neither here nor there)

Just remember that you have a community of kinky curlies to support you! You'd be surprised how much that helps

Thanks AsjaChyld- I feel a little better now. I thought it might be scab hair. I know things will get better with my hair-I do like being natural. I think that once all those frizzy straigth ends are gone things will vastly improve. I had being asking the person who cuts my hair if it was and she stated that she had never heard of scab hair even though she's suppose to be a nautral hair stylist.
